Destructive and Terribly Fatal Fire in a
Wisconsin Town,

HURLEY (Wis.), July 10th.-A fire broke
out on the stage of the Aicazar Theater at
o'clock last night, and within an hour
the entire business part of the town was in
flames. While eleven persons had per-
ished in the theater. the charred remains
OF nine people have been taken from other
ruins. The loss in full is half a million
dollars. The Alcazar was a variety theater,
chiefly frequented by miners, and was one
of those resorts of unsavory repute asso-
ciated with the notorious dance-houses of
the mining regions. Only small au-
dience had gathered when the fire broke out
and they scrambled out in hurry. Several
actors, howeve-, rushed up stairs to save
their warerobes, and when they sought to
escape found that they were hemmed in on
all sides, the flames having spread through
the wooden building with incredible rapid
ity. How they struggled to flee will never
be known, as none of them, except Sadie
Wells and Mabel Powers, were ever seen
again. The former appeared at a second
story window and called piteously on the
crowd outside to save her. Before a hand
could be raised the flames reached her and
communicated to her clothing. She made
frantic effort to jump through the win
dow, and then, with a piercing shrek. fell
into the furnace below. Mabel Powers had

Goodrich and husband, Sadie Wells, Mrs.
Fenton, and two or three others whose
names are not known.
The AlcaZar was in the very heart of the
city. 1t was a mass of flames in very
short time. The fire seemed to leap from
building to building. until several blocks
became a roaring oven. Ii was not long
before every business house between Third
and Fifth avenues was in flames. All
efforts to get the fire under control seemed
futile. The Fire Department, reinforced
by scores of volunteers, sent its puny
streams against the walls of flame, but had
to retreat, as the fire swept on irresistibly

HOW THE JOB WAS DONE.
On receiving the KEYS from the Sheriff
the crowd proceeded to go through the iail.
and it was not many minutes before
shout went up from the inside that thew
had him, and it was not in any of the cells
that the discovery was made, but down in q
trap'in the Sheriffs office, chained by his
feet to the floor. The crowd took up the
yell again, and hundreds and hundreds of
pistols were pointed in the direction of
Hong Di, and it was again feared that some
one would be hurt, but the leaders restored
quiet, to certain degree, and they ran him
through Chinatown, the crowd stopping at
livery stable with the intention OF hang
ing him there, but on they went, being
compelled by this time to carry him.
and the crowd ran till they reached the
turn table OF the C0lusa and Lake Rail
road, and here they came to a halt, and
placed rope around Hong Dis neck
VIM. Ill. Weaver was called, and COM
menced to converse with him. He talked
so rapidly that your reporter could not un-
stand what he said, but when Weaver

coolly.
AT last the minute for swinging the
wretch drew nigh. He was swung up on
the rafter of the turn-table, near the depot,
at ten minutes TO l o'clock In about five
minutes he was taken down, and physi-
clan was called and said that his heart was
still beating. At this, loud screams of
Swing him up = were heard from 1000
men assembled. They then dangled him
while longer, until life was extinct.
Three rousing cheers were given for the
Captain of the mob and those that took
prominent part in it. Hong Di was left
hanging
Loud were the calls for jurors Gay and
Edge. The mob, while returning from the
depot, fired q death salute of thirty or more
shots. They then came down in front of
the Courthouse and gave three cheers for
the Colusa Guards Three grunts were also
given for the jury, mentioning Gay in par
ticular
Thus it is that justice has been meted
out. The prisoner was brought to COlusa
and given q fair trial, and it was left to the
people in common to carry out the instruc-
tons given the jury by the Court. and it
took 1000 people to do what twelve honest
men might have done.

Exciting Battle With Indians in a Mis-
souri, Town Last Night.

souri, Town Last Night.
ST. LOUIS, July 10th.-About two weeks
ago band of six Kickapoo Indians ap-
peared in East st. Louis and piled a brisk
trade in selling moceasins and Indian
wares. They camped on the bank of the
river just outside the southern limit of the
town. On the Fouth of July one of the
Indians attempted to whip white boy
who was pestering and plaguing him,
when John Rose, rolling mill hand, in
terfered and gave the Indian a tbrashing.
About o'clock this evening the Indian and
a companion met Rose on the street near the
Star OF the West Hotel and made at him
with knives. Rose pulled revolver and
shot one of them through the body The
other hastened to camp and brought the
-est OF the Indians into town armed with
Winchester rifles. Rose and two or three
of his friends went into a second-story
room of the hotel, and when the Indians
approached near enough, opened fire on
them with revolvers and brought two of
them to the ground severely wounded
The remainder of the Indians then began
shooting promiscuously, and fired into the
hotel and surrounding houses. Great alarm
seized the people in the vicinity, and almost
Immediately hundreds of them were flee
ing from their houses and running to the
hillside near by and taking shelter
wherever they could.
A few moments later number of citi-
zens armed themselves, and with the aid
of the police drove the Indians to their
camp, but they would not surrender.
Grey Eagle and another stalwart buck
marched up and down before their tents
and with their sixteen-shooters held the
crowd at bay.
The Indians have carried two of their
wounded to the camp, and they being so
seriously hurt, the others finally sent for
and permitted doctor to enter the tent.
The whole party then surrendered, and the
wounded were sent to the hospital, and
Grey Eagle, Blackhawk and Moorehead
were locked up.
During the melee the Indians fired nu-
merous shots, but luckily did not hit any
body, and the excitement, which was in
tense for some time, gradually subsided.

New YORK, July 10th.-A Washington
special to the New York Times SAYS: The
President does not appear likely to get fair
treatment at the hands of the st. Louis
people, whether politically friendly or hos
tile, and it may be just as well that he
should decline to visit them for general
reasons. He was desirous that his letter to
Mayor Francis, declining the invitation to
visit ST. Louis as the guest of the city dur
ing the encampment of the Grand Army,
should gain publicity, so he gave
a copy OF it on Wednesday
morning to the correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican, paper that kindly
labels its first page with the explanation
that it is Democratic in politics." The
letter was handed to the Republican CORE
spondent with the understanding that it
should be sent in time to be transmitted
by the Associated Press to the whole
country. The Associated Press was in
formed that 1t was to expect an important
piece of news. In the meantime the Re
publican people, stimulated by desire to
prevent the Globe Democrat from obtaining
the news, concluded not to give out the
Presidents letter, or at least to delay
giving it out, so that it would
be impossible for the Globe Democrat to get
it back over the wire from any point Hav-
ing concluded to steal dispatch intrusted
to them by the President upon conditions
clearly understood and agreed to by the
Republican correspondent here, the Repubi-
can communicated with the Associated
Press, and the agent of that Association
sent word to all points that the first notice
was T" 4 false alarm" The ReDublicnn bav-
ing appropriated the Presidents letter, al
lowed it 10 be sold out of its Office to
one New York paper, and permitted the
Associated Press TO use it as late
morning matter for the afternoon papers.
1t does not appear, from ali that can be
learned here, that the labeled " Democratic

LONDON, July l0th.-If the Russian news
is rightly interpreted by the Russian organ
in England, Ferdinand's election as Prince
of Bulgaria threatens trouble.
" 1t is impossible to recognize him as

therefore, amounts for nothing. The
kilograms from the European capitals
alfspeak of objections and difficulties likely
to be raised. Every European power, ex-
cept France, would gladly assent to Prince
Ferdinands election were Russia content,
but the St. Petersburg dispatches remark
characteristically that the action of the
Bulgarian Sohranje has no real importance.
Other intelligence is to the effect that
Russia intends nothing more than a formal
protest, and that Prince Ferdinand is ex-
pected to give assurances sufficient to sat
isfy the Car for the time being.
